Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bolognese Zoodles.
Step 1
Start by warming a generous splash of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the diced mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, and carrot.
Step 3
Sauté these colorful veggies for about 5 to 7 minutes, allowing them to caramelize and develop a lovely golden-brown hue.
Step 4
Next, add the minced garlic to the mix and let it cook for an additional minute, filling your kitchen with its delightful aroma.
Step 5
Now it’s time to introduce the star of the show: the ground beef.
Step 6
Crumble it into the pan with a spatula, cooking until it’s beautifully browned and crumbly, which should take another 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 7
While that’s happening, slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the pan, followed by a generous pour of vodka marinara sauce.
Step 8
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, letting those flavors meld together.
Step 9
Now, gently fold in the zucchini noodles and baby spinach, seasoning everything with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Step 10
Cook this vibrant mixture, stirring gently, until the spinach wilts and the zucchini noodles become tender, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 11
To finish, stir in the freshly chopped oregano and basil, ensuring every bite is bursting with flavor.
Step 12
Serve your delicious creation hot, and don’t forget to sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top for that perfect finishing touch.
Step 13
Enjoy this hearty dish that’s not only satisfying but also a feast for the eyes!.
